Celtic Games International Caps 1976 Irish International Cap winners Roll of Honour CELTIC INTERNATIONAL GAMES 1976 – 2018 The annual Celtic Games contested now by Under 16 and Under 18 teams from Ireland, Scotland and Wales have undergone significant changes from the first event held in Aberdeen on the 14th August 1976. The first Junior International between the North of Ireland and Scotland took place in 1969 at Ormeau Park in Belfast and this link continued for several years. In 1975 a team from the North of Ireland travelled the long coach journey to Haverford West in South West Wales. Following this match discussions took place between Maeve Kyle and Barbara Elgie of Wales and with the support of Scotland a proposal was made to the British Athletics Board (BAAB) to hold a Celtic Match the following year. The BAAB agreed and the North of Ireland WAAA were asked to invite Bord Lúthchleas Ógánach na hÉireann to take part. Scotland agreed to host the first event with subsequent meetings to follow a four year cycle of Scotland, Wales, Ireland and the North of Ireland. The first meeting in Ireland taking place at the UCD Grounds at Belfield on August 6th 1978. For the first 16 years the competition comprised of girls only teams in the Under 13, Under 15 and Under 17 age groups. The first winner in Aberdeen was Jacqueline Gibbons in the 60 metres Hurdles representing the North of reland. Jackie subsequently became a teacher in Thornhill College in Derry a school which produced many athletics champions. That same day saw the international debut of many future outstanding athletes some of whom went on to compete at the highest level of the Commonwealth and Olympic Games. For the North of Ireland Janet Boyle and Sharon McPeake both medaled at the Commonwealth Games while Judith Rodgers was a Commonwealth Games 100m Hurdles finalist and Angela McCullagh went to the World Cross Country Championships. BLOE featured the likes of Caroline O’Shea, Marita Walton and Patricia Amond. A young Linsey McDonald finished last for Scotland in the U13 100 metres and would go on to represent Great Britain in the Moscow Olympics four years later. For Wales Carmen Smart would progress to represent the Principality at three Commonwealth Games while a certain Kirsty McDermott ran 2:33 for 800 metres to win the Under the Under 15 event and as Kirsty Wade won the Commonwealth title in Edinburgh in 1986 having a year earlier run 1:57.42 at the Mary Peters Track in Belfast, still the second fastest ever by a British athlete. The Games have continued to act as a first rung on the ladder for a host of future Senior International athletes from all Nations including the great Sonia O’Sullivan. The format of the Games changed in 1992 with the Under 13 Girls events being dropped and being replaced by Under 15 and Under 17 Boys. This was followed in 2006 by a change in Age Groups to Under 16 and Under 18 with the younger age group having a limited number of events. In 2012 the most recent change took place with the North of Ireland, which through Maeve Kyle had inaugurated the Games, no longer taking part as a team but with their athletes eligible to represent Athletics Ireland.

I was introduced to wheelchair basketball when I was six and have represented Great Britain at junior level. I didn’t get into sport just because of the Paralympics in London 2012 but it was the main reason I moved to Para Athletics. I was watching Dave Weir compete in the 800m final and the excitement of watching him power home in the final 100m to win gold was awesome, I just thought “I want to do that”, so in early 2013, I went to a come-and-try it day and I’ve been hooked ever since.
